Hailing from Paktia and raised in Kabul, Allah Ghazanfar is one of Afghanistan’s most exciting spin prospects. Originally a fast bowler, he transitioned to off-spin during the Covid lockdown, developing a deceptive style characterized by his excellent stalk delivery and a lethal carrom ball. He debuted for Afghanistan at the tender age of 16, he quickly etched his name into the record books with a staggering 6 for 26 against Bangladesh which is the second-best ODI figures for Afghanistan. Ghazanfar’s IPL journey began as a replacement player for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2024. After proving his mettle in the 2024 U-19 World Cup and the Emerging Asia Cup, his stock skyrocketed. The Mumbai Indians secured him for INR 4.8 Crore in the 2025 TATA IPL Mega Auction and retained him for the 2026 season recognizing his immense potential as a match-winner. Joining a legendary five-time champion dressing room offers Ghazanfar a priceless opportunity to learn from greats like Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, as he looks to lead MI’s spin attack in their hunt for a sixth title.
